High-resolution mid-IR spectrometer based on frequency upconversion.
We demonstrate a novel approach for high-resolution spectroscopy based on frequency upconversion and postfiltering by means of a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. The system is based on sum-frequency mixing, shifting the spectral content from the mid-infrared to the near-visible region allowing for direct detection with a silicon-based CCD camera. This approach allows for low noise detection...
متن کاملA Combined Mid-IR/Near-IR Spectrometer
When analysts are faced with the decision of selecting either mid-IR (MIR) or near-IR (NIR) spectroscopy for materials characterization, the decision is usually based on the analytical, sampling, and/ or operational needs. For example, when the greatest analytical specificity is required or certain inorganic materials need to be measured, the choice favors MIR; whereas the need to keep an unsta...
متن کاملMid-IR multiwavelength difference frequency generation based on fiber lasers.
A mid-IR multiwavelength difference frequency generation (DFG) laser source with fiber laser fundamental lights is demonstrated by using the dispersion property of PPLN to broaden the quasi-phase-matching (QPM) acceptance bandwidth (BW). Our results show that the QPM BW for the pump YDFL is much larger than that for the signal EDFL. Using a multiwavelength YDFL and a single-wavelength EDFL as t...
متن کاملFrequency-comb-based absolute frequency measurements in the mid-infrared with a difference-frequency spectrometer.
We demonstrate the possibility of extending the well-established metrological performance of optical frequency-comb synthesizers to the mid-IR region by phase locking the pump and signal lasers of a difference-frequency source to two near-IR teeth of an optical comb. An uncertainty of 800 Hz (1.1 x 10(-11)) in the absolute frequencies of CO2 transitions near 4.2 microm has been measured by cavi...
متن کاملLow-noise mid-IR upconversion detector for improved IR-degenerate four-wave mixing gas sensing.
We compare a nonlinear upconversion detector with a conventional cryogenic InSb detector for the detection of coherent infrared light showing near-shot-noise-limited performance in the upconversion system. The InSb detector is limited by dark noise, which results in a 500 times lower signal-to-noise ratio. The two detectors are compared for the detection of a coherent degenerate four-wave mixin...
